In the midst of Colorado’s celebration of the 45-42 win over then-No. 17 TCU, coach Deion Sanders found No. 2 for TCU.

No. 2 is Trey Sanders, a running back who found the end zone three times in the loss, but was slowed by injury in the game. Many certainly remember Trey Sanders from his time under Nick Saban at Alabama before transferring to TCU.

“I walked over to him because he was a kid that wanted to come here,” Deion Sanders said Thursday during The Colorado Coaches Show, per 247 Sports. “The reason I didn’t take him was because he sustained some significant injuries. …

“But I still had love for the kid because he wanted to play for us. So, I went out there and I said, ‘Son, now you know if you don’t get up, they ain’t got a chance. So, I want you to get your butt up and get back in this game and be dominant like you’ve been.’

“That’s what I told him. I wanted the kid to be dominant. His last name’s Sanders, first of all, and he was the No. 2 on offense. That’s what the conversation was.”

Shedeur Sanders, Deion Sanders’ son, threw for a school-record 510 yards with four touchdowns as the Buffaloes pulled off an opening shocker with a 45-42 win over 17th-ranked TCU, last year’s national runner-up. The game-winner was a 46-yard catch-and-run by freshman running back Dylan Edwards on a fourth-down play with 4:25 left. Edwards caught three TD passes and ran for another score. Two-way starter Travis Hunter, the former top recruit who came with the quarterback and coach from FCS team Jackson State, had 11 catches for 119 yards and an interception.
